Following on from our recent blog post about logging into Mark Allen Health we thought it would be good to focus on some of the resources it contains, most of which are focused on Nursing but in particular it contains the British Journal of Healthcare Assistants which is especially useful for HCA’s working at the Christie.
The journal is a perfect read for HCAs who want to develop their skills and think about their future career. Recent topics include moving patients, building a therapeutic relationship with patients , end of life care and ethics and male specific cancers.
The Mark Allen Health collection also includes subscriptions to Journal of Operation Department Practitioners, International Journal of Palliative Care, British Journal of Hospital Medicine and many more, which can be searched easily if you are looking for resources on a specific topic.
Make sure you log in with OpenAthens, this will enable you to access all of the resources on Mark Allen Health. To set your OpenAthens account up, simply register online here and make sure you use your NHS email account.
